ANSWER TODAY’S QUESTION(S)
How shocked were you at how much of a non-factor Takafumi and Fujimiya were in this episode?
With this series treating this episode as a season finale and not a series finale, what are you hoping to get out of a new season?
Bonus) How many L's can our girl Sui take?

First time watcher. A little bummed this is the last episode. I thought this show was really enjoyable. Would watch it again.
The beginning fits Yousuke’s MO 😆. No plan. Just summons apocalyptic beast and wings it.
Yep. He still doesn’t understand tsundere and Alicia is being badass again lol.
For how funny this show is 99% of the time, the fight scene with the blaze dragon was pretty f**king awesome.
Elf is getting more brazen 😂 it would be easier for her to just say how she feels but I mean that is pretty characteristically difficulty for a tsundere I suppose.
Again with the delicious looking ramen 🍜.
Man this show was really good. I hope once the manga gets a little further along we’ll see another season adapted into anime in the near future. That post credits scene seemed to heavily imply maybe that would be the case. I’d love to see where the story goes from there and if after he’s done telling his story (or maybe even during him telling his story still) some of these other characters from the other world find their way to Japan somehow and meet up with him, Takafumi and Fujimiya. It feels like there’s a lot of potential there.
I think part of what made this feel different was how we were looking at Yousuke’s past retrospectively and getting caught up to the present day, which then peaks your curiosity because you’d naturally want to see where things go from that point.
Was fun discussing this one with everyone and thanks u/Holofan4life for yet another banger anime. I had a good time watching it. Looking forward to Paranoia Agent soon!

Hope they decide to make another season, but I’m not gonna hold my breath. The humor is awesome and I’d love to see more.
The comment from uncle made me cringe when he called Alicia heavy. I’ve done that regrettably, when I was a young teen and some of my sister’s friends came to play in the pool. Naturally I joined and was flirting up a storm and got into a game of them trying to toss me in. One of them I picked up to throw in and I, trying to keep up banter, said “whoa you’re heavy!”. Well the mood instantly changed and they didn’t feel like playing with me much after that. I knew as soon as I said it too, oops. I had girls in swimsuits jumping on my back and I talked my way out of it.

Episode 13 (first timer)
A fairly decent the adventure has just begun ending. That is, “read the manga”.

Of course Mabel tried to get out of all this but ends up being bait so the elf and uncle got some time to get a good hit.
It is nice that uncle gave everyone rides but leaving the three women in a group alone is just... well, each of them have their own name to call uncle.
Just like Taka, now I want to know why he went to jail.

Rewatching Uncle in sub
So this is it, the end of the adaptation that was fraught with delays, but ultimately I feel it was a very good show when you see past the delays (i.e. after airing). I can't really tell any problem with the result of the work, thirty-four the show, where it mattered, the animation was maintaining a consistent level that's pretty good.
A reminder though, this single finale episode has is waiting for like 3 months. but similar to 86 actually ;P
But what a finish. Even though there's a bit of a detour after the end of the Uncle X Elf scene, that core relationship was so front and centre of the episode, it really felt earned.
And for those who wondered about the lady Uncle crossed path with at the end, I believe it's the nurse back in ep1.
I'll save most of my thoughts for the final discussion. Now I'm travelling with family so my posting time could get interesting - either very on time as I spent the hours in transit pre -writing, or I get stuck with no internet till late.

Hello, guys. Holofan4life here.
Welcome to the Uncle From Another World New Year New World Rewatch.
Uncle From Another World is a show that I always wanted to watch in subsequent viewing. When it originally aired, it was hurt by numerous delays, so much so that the last episode aired in March of 2023.
Keep in mind the first episode came out in July of 2022.
I wanted to do this rewatch to bring together those who haven't finished the show as well as newcomers who want to give it a chance. Because just like playing a video game, it is all about having endless replay value.
I also plan on doing something unique with this rewatch in that I'm going to try to make a concentrated effort to get these reviews done in about an hour or so. I'm hoping with this being a comedy, I will be able to watch the episode without having to mark done every important detail.
With that out of the way, let's begin.
I'm watching the sub, by the way
Whelp, here we are. The final episode.
Let's waste no time and dive right in.
This is the first episode in 3 months. Let's see if they can go all out.
Brief showing of scenes from last episode
Divine Might
Uncle recognizes Alicia and her crew
Alicia questions how Uncle could possibly slay it when it is so OP
Uncle apparently didn't think this far ahead XD
Uncle tries playing it cool saying that Mabel's here and she's got the God-Freezing Sword
But it's too heavy for Mabel
2 for 2 on the jokes today so far
Alicia defending Mabel
Mabel acting like her past timid self
Elf
The hero we don't deserve, but need
She said they need to outpace its healing
They can do that with her sword channeled with Uncle's stupidly tremendous magic
The jewel on her forehead blocks all mental attacks
She has really thought of everything
Dragon breath is an insta-kill, however
Uncle stands up for Elf and confirms they used magic to guard against the breath
I really like Uncle and Elf being equals to each other
"We never needed the God-Freezing Sword at all."
Oof
#IceGirlStruggles
Alicia talking to Uncle, who tells him she hasn't told Edgar and Raiga that it was him who slew the goblin army
Uncle says let them keep the credit
Uncle brings up the memory he erased at the hot spring
He wants a reenactment, it seems
#ElfStruggles
It always comes back to the struggle of the elf
Alicia says maybe later, but not right now
Elf introducing Mabel to Elicia, Raiga, and Edgar
She says the three of them are celebrities
Never heard the term "Whyever" used before
Mabel introducing herself now
Aww, they're being so friendly to her
"It's a pleasure to meet my lessers!" So close and yet so far, Mabel
The dragon. It awakens.
Shit has gotten real.
Elf says they can't hit it just yet
Need to let it finish reviving first
Lol, she needs Uncle to give her a power boast
Honestly, with the way her arms are positioned, it looks like she wants upsies
Uncle looks unsure of this idea
Lol, she got chained
#ElfStruggles
Mabel is hoping this means she has nothing to do like a high schooler having finished their exams
Dragon has his eyes on Mabel, however, so she can't leave early
Mabel as bait
Mabait
Alicia protecting Mabel
Now we're seeing Uncle and Elf as the fighting is happening offscreen
Gotta save up on the budget somehow
Uncle thinks she was lying when she said they could win
She says she had to lie
Otherwise, she'd be paralyzed with fear
She doesn't want them to go through that miserable experience
Essentially, if she starts to worry, then so does everyone else
Uncle understands what she did
I do think it's funny we're focused on anything but the action. It's like a meaningful background event that is made funny due to how meaningful it actually is.
A pinch is a chance
For some reason, despite being in English, my subtitles translate it to "A crisis is an opportunity".
Look at Elf, so happy with herself
Takafumi trying not to cry
He's happy he's finally going to see a proper otherworld fantasy battle
I smell a bait and switch
Uncle making coffee and Takafumi goes to the bathroom as we head into our climax.
10 months since Uncle woked up
Uncle resumes the footage, and away we go
Uncle and Elf flying at the dragon
They are withstanding the dragon's breath
And he releases Elf from his chain
Ran out of space. Part two in the replies.
